The region, which has been on a lockdown for 2 days, resulted in the shoot of the Milan Luthria-directed musical drama getting cancelled at Ramoji Film City on July 5th and 6th.

This gave Vidya Balan, Tusshar and Naseeruddin Shah a breather from the film's hectic shooting schedule. Emraan Hashmi joins the unit next week following the release of his Mohit Suri-directed thriller.

The shooting resumed late night on 6th July.

Both Emraan and Tusshar will be seen opposite Vidya for the first time in THE DIRTY PICTURE.
